Philanthropy, Government
and Corporate Support

“Toga’s CSR Strategy focusing on youth at risk and youth homelessness, came to life when we commenced our partnership with My Foundations. By offering our vacant asset for meanwhile use, MFYH provided us an opportunity to provide safe and affordable housing for homeless young people. We only have positive things to say about MFYH and the work they do.”

– Mischelle Fischl, TOGA

How we make a difference

We are the only youth specific housing provider in Australia and perhaps even the world. Established 9 years ago, we are well on our way of already making a difference!

Our advocacy voice, youth worker hearts and strong-minded partnerships, kicked this organisation into action, building a youth housing portfolio and implementing an increase in the delivery of new housing products such as Transitional Housing Plus (5 year transitional housing (mostly shared) for young people across Hunter, Mid North Coast and Sydney Metro areas of NSW). We must emphasise that the ongoing support of partners has been vital for the success of young people starting out in these tenancies.

We have bought our first property (3,730 m² land size) in Port Macquarie and are seeking further funding and philanthropic opportunities to redevelop this purchase into multiple housing products for young people.

We have a current snapshot of 287 young residents in their own safe and affordable tenancies across NSW

NB: Includes children in households.

 

We have housed over 1300 young tenants so far

Includes Transitional Housing, Transitional Housing Plus (THP), Affordable Housing, Premier’s Youth Initiative and our pop-up housing tenants but not our temporary accommodation clients.

We have provided a total number
of 509,788 tenancy days so far

All of this tenancy experience/history adds to a young persons ‘tenancy resume’ and is vital for future and longer term housing success!
